Book excerpt: This New York Times Notable Book is a “sweeping historical drama” of a physician and his family on the Illinois frontier in the nineteenth century (The New York Times Book Review). Dr. Robert Judson Cole travels from his ravaged Scotland homeland, through the operating rooms of Boston, to the cabins of frontier Illinois. In the wilderness he befriends the starving remnants of the Sauk tribe, who have fled their reservation. In the process, he absorbs their culture and learns native remedies that enrich the classical medical education he received at Edinburgh University. He marries a remarkable settler woman he had saved from illness. The details of how their deaf son manages to become a physician also, despite his handicap, and the story of how the Cole family is sucked into the bloody vortex of the Civil War and survives, makes an exceptional reading experience.

Download or read book Chinese Literature: A Very Short Introduction written by Sabina Knight and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2012-02-03 with total page 158 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Perhaps nowhere else has literature been as conscious a collective endeavor as in China, and China's survival over three thousand years may owe more to its literary traditions than to its political history. This Very Short Introduction tells the story of Chinese literature from antiquity to the present, focusing on the key role literary culture played in supporting social and political concerns. Embracing traditional Chinese understandings of literature as encompassing history and philosophy as well as poetry and poetics, storytelling, drama, and the novel, Sabina Knight discusses the philosophical foundations of literary culture as well as literature's power to address historical trauma and cultivate moral and sensual passions. From ancient historical records through the modernization and globalization of Chinese literature, Knight draws on lively examples to underscore the close relationship between ethics and aesthetics, as well as the diversity of Chinese thought. Knight also illuminates the role of elite patronage; the ways literature has served the interests of specific groups; and questions of canonization, language, nationalism, and cross-cultural understanding. The book includes Chinese characters for names, titles, and key terms.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 10th anniversary edition A Guardian Best Book about Deforestation A New Scientist Best Book of the Year A Taipei Times Best Book of the Year “A perfectly grounded account of what it is like to live an indigenous life in communion with one’s personal spirits. We are losing worlds upon worlds.” —Louise Erdrich, New York Times Book Review “The Yanomami of the Amazon, like all the indigenous peoples of the Americas and Australia, have experienced the end of what was once their world. Yet they have survived and somehow succeeded in making sense of a wounded existence. They have a lot to teach us.” —Amitav Ghosh, The Guardian “A literary treasure...a must for anyone who wants to understand more of the diverse beauty and wonder of existence.” —New Scientist A now classic account of the life and thought of Davi Kopenawa, shaman and spokesman for the Yanomami, The Falling Sky paints an unforgettable picture of an indigenous culture living in harmony with the Amazon forest and its creatures, and its devastating encounter with the global mining industry. In richly evocative language, Kopenawa recounts his initiation as a shaman and first experience of outsiders: missionaries, cattle ranchers, government officials, and gold prospectors seeking to extract the riches of the Amazon. A coming-of-age story entwined with a rare first-person articulation of shamanic philosophy, this impassioned plea to respect indigenous peoples’ rights is a powerful rebuke to the accelerating depredation of the Amazon and other natural treasures threatened by climate change and development.

Recounted is the terrifying quest by youths after their personal magic power (tahmahnawis), magical cures for soul loss, disease, snakebite, even locating corpses for reclothing and burial. Of particular interest, following grievous accidents or grave illnesses twelve tribesmen and women relate of their deaths, extra-body experiences and then return to life to do penance."--Amazon.com viewed July 10, 2023.

The treatment is fascinating...the commentaries are a gold mine of responses to the material by a strong poet (the editor), and his selection of analogous writings from a broad range of contemporary poets."—David P.

Book excerpt: This book is about Konstantin Chirkov (1879-1874), a White Shaman from the banks of the Indigirka River in the North of Siberia. He was not only a skilful healer, but also a keeper of spiritual culture of indigenous people of the North.Telling about her father's difficult life under the Soviet regime, the author reflects on the nature of shamanism in general. This book is not merely recollections of eyewitnesses about wondrous happenings; it is a thorough insight into this ancient knowledge. Being both a certified doctor and a healer, who inherited her father's abilities, the author emphasizes that the shaman's gift is a gift from above, the knowledge of universal laws and natural mechanisms driving everything in the world, the cosmic secret wisdom. However, A.Chirkova lifts the veil from some shaman secrets and healing techniques. Explaining the shamanism phenomenon with the use of parapsychology and psychophysics concepts, the author believes it to be applicable in modern medicine.Although narrating about events in past, this book is aimed at future
